Abstract
In this paper, a generalized nonlinear time-varying dynamic model is established for the cutterhead driving system of a shield tunnel boring machine. A nonlinear multiple input and multiple output state-space dynamic model is also proposed. The dynamic model is simulated to analyze the driving system and the effects of system parameters such as gear backlash and transmission error, larger gear inertia, and load torque on the dynamic response of driving system are investigated as well. A preliminary approach is proposed to restrain speed oscillation and reduce steady-state speed ripple. Through modeling and studying the dynamic model, we refine some important issues that should be given closer attention.
